This part of ISO 1268 specifies the general principles and procedures for the compression moulding of test plates from two types of fibre-reinforced thermosetting moulding compound: sheet moulding compound (SMC) and bulk moulding compound (BMC). The aim of this part of ISO 1268 is to ensure the preparation of flat test plates from which test specimens can be cut (for the relevant test methods, see Annex A). The plates are produced in such a way that specimens cut from them give representative results when used in these test methods.

 

This document specifies two methods for the determination of the density of glass fibre: — Method A: Gas pycnometer method; — Method B: Liquid pycnometer method.

 

This document specifies a method for determining the flexural properties of rigid and semi-rigid plastics under defined conditions. A preferred test specimen is defined, but parameters are included for alternative specimen sizes for use where appropriate. A range of test speeds is included. The method is used to investigate the flexural behaviour of the test specimens and to determine the flexural strength, flexural modulus and other aspects of the flexural stress/strain relationship under the conditions defined. It applies to a freely supported beam, loaded at midspan (three-point loading test). The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials: — thermoplastic moulding, extrusion and casting materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to unfilled types; rigid thermoplastics sheets; — thermosetting moulding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds; thermosetting sheets. In agreement with ISO 10350-1[5] and ISO 10350-2,[6] this document applies to fibre-reinforced compounds with fibre lengths =7,5 mm prior to processing. For long-fibre-reinforced materials (laminates) with fibre lengths >7,5 mm, see ISO 14125[7]. The method is not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials or sandwich structures containing cellular material. In such cases, ISO 1209-1[3] and/or ISO 1209-2[4] can be used. NOTE 1 For certain types of textile-fibre-reinforced plastic, a four-point bending test is used. This is described in ISO 14125. The method is performed using specimens which can be either moulded to the specified dimensions, machined from the central section of a standard multipurpose test specimen (see ISO 20753) or machined from finished or semi-finished products, such as mouldings, laminates, or extruded or cast sheet. The method specifies the preferred dimensions for the test specimen. Tests which are carried out on specimens of different dimensions, or on specimens which are prepared under different conditions, can produce results which are not comparable. Other factors, such as the test speed and the conditioning of the specimens, can also influence the results. NOTE 2 Especially for injection moulded semi-crystalline polymers, the thickness of the oriented skin layer, which is dependent on the moulding conditions, also affects the flexural properties. The method is not suitable for the determination of design parameters but can be used in materials testing and as a quality control test.

 

This test method covers the determination of the low-rate fracture toughness (JIc) of plastics exhibiting a ductile behaviour and characterized by a macroscopically stable crack growth during a fracture test. The application of standard LEFM tests to these materials typically fails due to the excessive non-linearity in the response. This test method, developed for the SEN(B) testing configuration, describes a single-specimen approach that does not require the measurement of ?a. Not intended to provide a method to construct the material JR curve, this test method allows checking a priori the applicability of the multi-specimen approach based on the ?a measurement for the construction of the material JR curve to a ductile polymer with given specimen geometry and dimensions. This is done by referring to a specially developed crack propagation parameter, which is labelled mS.

This document is applicable to the sampling of solid fertilizers and liming materials that have a uniform composition and have no tendency to segregate. NOTE 1 The term product is used throughout the body of this document and is understood to include fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors unless otherwise indicated. NOTE 2 Manufacturers, importers and sellers can choose to use this method to obtain samples of other products or blends as well as long as both parties to a transaction agree. The build-up of a static heap often leads to granulometric segregation, which makes the collection of a truly representative sample of many products and blends unlikely. NOTE 3 It is the responsibility of manufacturers, importers and sellers, however, to ensure they supply a product that complies with its label declaration at the moment of delivery and fulfils the expectations of the end user at the moment of application. NOTE 4 A method of obtaining a screening sample from a static heap can be found in Annex B.

 

This document specifies a method for the determination of total organic carbon content by elemental analysis using dry combustion. The method is applicable to inorganic fertilizers containing more than 0,1 % carbon expressed on dry mass. NOTE This method can also be applied to other types of fertilizers, provided the user has verified the applicability. This document is applicable to the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: inorganic fertilizers, organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants and where the following category: inorganic fertilizer is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If inorganic fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible.
